What is your practice worth — and who would actually buy it?

Most valuations give you one number. There are three different buyers, they use three different formulas, and for a solo practice they do not converge. This runs all three against the real dentist supply, ownership age and buyer pool within driving distance of your ZIP.

A healthy office runs near 30%.
Everything except what you take home.
This changes the answer more than anything else.

An estimate built from your inputs and public data — not an appraisal, and not investment, tax or legal advice. Dentist supply and ownership vintage: CMS NPPES, counted across a catchment of at least five miles around your ZIP, widened until it holds a meaningful population; the radius used is shown with your results. "In practice since 2007 or earlier" is derived from NPPES enumeration date, which is a floor on career length, not an age. Income: ACS 2023 5‑year estimates. Shortage‑area status: HRSA dental HPSA file, reported for the ZIP — awards attach to an approved site, so verify any specific address with HRSA's HPSA Find tool. Multiples are market ranges, not quotes. A real offer turns on your chart base, payer mix, lease, equipment age, staff retention and the quality of your books.
